I love anthology titles. Marvel's recent one, Bizarro world, Popgun and many others I flat out love. Dark Horse is no different as I have all the volumes that have been put out in trade. It's great to see a company putting out exclusive content online filled with top tier creators with such varying storytelling.

Dark Horse presents is an anthology that's put out on myspace.com where creators like Steve Niles, Joss Whedon, Gerard Way and others share usually short 8 page stories or longer with the online audience. Artists like Gabriel Ba, Fabio Moon, Jo Chen and many others also grace the pages of the anthology series.

The stories themselves vary from Joss's Sugarshock which has some of the most beautiful artwork I've seen from Moon yet to Tony Millionaire's Sock Monkey which is very hard to describe. Something I know I constantly enjoy getting in each collection are the Steve Niles paranormal stories which are a personal treat to read each and every time. They are pulpy and you definitely root for the lead character who goes through some bizarre things.

There was a two page buffy story which really only felt like you'd get it if you were a huge fan (which I of course am) and it's good to see a little bit of Dr. Horrible as well as 3 different Umbrella Academy short stories just focusing on a few of the individual siblings.

It's fun to see this experiment doing so well and I personally cannot wait for more.

Score: 8

(There are currently at least 3 trades out that you can order and I highly recommend them)

Hands down one of my favorite comics being published today. We follow a group of elfs, mages, trolls and other creatures that feel like you'd be playing D and D as they go on a really crazy journey trying to escape the evil that hunts them down. Okay that's a horrible description but it will work.

Our lead character is an elf named Cale who at the start of the comic is much different then he is now. He was idealistic, caring about the whole world and just confused about his role in life. That is until he got mixed up with the undead warlock Richard which is hands down the best character in the series. Richard likes to cause chaos, light things on fire and just generally be a thorn in everyone's side. But as all characters like that he's easily likable and you can't help but route for the bastard.

The cast is fleshed out by a panther named sooba who is cale's familair, Benny a female half breed healer,Krunch a tauren, Pella who seems to be have the characteristics of both a dwarf and a knome. Together they go on a bizarre journey which has led them to some very interesting places.

The series is overrun by pop culture references and just some great one liners and is a constant treat to read through. I loved learning Rich's battlecry which I wont spoil for you. It's also great seeing all the craziness drawn by Lar who you can tell enjoys each second of it.

Grade: 9

(There are 2 hardcovers volumes available on the site and it is done by the same creative team that does Least I can do.)
